In this connection, IN reply to surpris
that has been expressed in certai
quarters that the REGISTER had NO
commented on the facts in this case q
published last week, We will simpl
say: THE REGISTER does not believe
to be the.province of a newspaper to US
its columns TO- create a prejudice eithe
for or against an Individual accused Q
crime. Under our present system
is difficult enough at best to secure {
competent Jury; and the REGISTER
does not hold itself justified in increas
ing the difficulty aud thereby increas
ing the cost to the county, by urginl
its own opinion and thereby prelude
ing others. This question of Mr.. Sam
uel's guilt or innocence is one for tn
courts alone to determine, and it i
one that they should be left to deter
mine as free as possible from the EN-
barrassment of manufactured public
opinion. The REGISTER gave full
and impartial account of the affray
which resulted in the death Of w. l.
Allard. 1t has no wish to usurp tn
functions of a court in pr0nouncine
judgment either of acquittal or con
domination upon his slayer.
BY reference to the minutes o
the Horticultural Society, published
elsewhere, it will be seen that tn,
organization has done the REGIsTEI
the honor to adopt almost literally thu
suggestions made in its last issue con
corning steps to be taken to have fail
here this fall. Committees have been
appointed, correspondence will be
opened at once with representative
farmers and stock men in every town
ship of the county and all the arrange
ments necessary to insure success will
be made without delay. 1t affords us
unqualified satisfaction to make this
announcement for we feel assured that
the contemplated Fair will be com
pie success and will be of great ,advan.
tage, not only to lola, but to the whole
county. OF course 1t will be consider.
able of an undertaking for the HOrti-
cultural Society, but they may be as.
sured that their efforts will be heartily
seconded by the business men and cit.
liens of lola generally, and that any
reasonable demands that they may
make will be cheerfully granted. We
have talked with a number of people
about the project and we have found
no one who was net willing to do his
very best for Allen COunty's first An.
nual Horticultural, Agricultural and
Stock Exhibit.
A LaHarpe friend of ours writes us
that he wages successful war on the
chinch bugs after the following man.
ner: "Plow deep furrOw next to the
corn or ,anyother suitable place opposite
the bugs. Throw the dirt away from
the bugs. Take spade or post au-
ger and make holes in the furrow six
teen inches deep at any distance most
the more the better. Keep
the holes smooth and perpendicular and
the bugs will get in the furrow and fall
in the holes. When a sufficient guam
ty fall in take about two tablespoons OF
kerosene and sprinkle over them and
drop small .wisp of saturated hay or
,traw over them and set fire to it. At
ter ,,.nrning them either dig new holes
or clean ..he old ones. 1t is better to
die new ones. Draw line with coarse
ball Irvine along In. opposite side Of
the furrow saturated in coal on ana
the bugs will not ATTEMPT to c. tue
line and it thereby confines the bugs
to the furrow and in this way the main
bulk of the bugs may be effectually
DESTROYED with but little labor or ex-
pense."
Arriving at the grand stand the band
played a rousing national air, the choir
sang a patriotic song and the orator of
The day. Judge Stillwell, was intro

The REGISTER has no interest what

'cott to Chanute, but 1t occurs to us
hat Cottage Grove township can very
ell afford to give it the aid asked. |
'wenty thousand dollars for IL miles J

rom the day it is built it will pay more

n the bonds amounts to. We should |
